"Live" from Stanton, MI Lucas Oil race

Larry Hill · 07-28-2011, 09:28 PM

Well we are in Michigan, but not quite to Stanton yet. We drove up to visit with Al and Bev Provoast at their home before going on to Stanton in the morning.

As you can tell, they are both looking and doing great!

We are leaving in the morning and driving about 135 miles down and over to Stanton. It was 740 miles up here. Knock on wood, we haven't had any trouble.

Well I will post more tomorrow after we get there. The gates are supposed to open at 5, then test and tune from 5-9.

Larry, I believe they will open sooner than five o'clock, but I can't be sure. I hope to be there around three. See you then.

They haven't started parking much earlier than 5 pm in the past. I wouldn't count on it.

Wow - the Provoasts look terrific - what are they doing with their time ?

Hey Jack,
You wanted to know what the Provoasts are doing now: Here is Larry and Al this morning working on the exhaust for Al's generator. We got ready to leave this morning and discovered a problem with the muffler on the generator. So they are working on it now.

Here is a picture of wood cut up to burn. They use a wood burning stove in the winter and Al says he has enough wood for another 10 years. He says he guesses he will have to use the furnace after that.

And here is a picture of their garden. Bev still cans and puts things up for the winter. Wonderful pickles!!

Here is a picture of the really pretty birch trees on their place. Larry wanted me to stand among them and see if you could tell the difference between the birches and the bitches! Isn't he ugly??
